Given Murray's long career in journalism prior to coming aboard with Vancouver Island Brewery, we kick off the conversation with a general talk around the state of media in Canada, and get some great insights from somebody who spent most of a lifetime working in the media industry.

We shift gears into beer. The history of the brewery, the state of the industry, it's connection with "buy local", and the many opportunities that exist around the industry.

We wrap up with a chat about the area where the brewery is located, and the potential land use around that area - "mid-town" (or as John might envision it, "Yaletown").

Media, business and politics - sounds like a pretty well rounded episode for JPM. Enjoy the show!

Fair enough. We can all agree homelessness is an important issue.

But what are the economic implications of high housing prices, both rental and ownership, for our region's "regular" workers - the middle class, the people that are here, and the smart people our region is trying to attract?

Governments in our region tell you they are addressing the issue. According to housing policy expert Shannon Renault, they really are not, and she explains why in this week's episode.

We begin the first show of the new season (that is, season 2) with the usual banter between Paul and John, and hit on a few topical political issues: the Alberta election, and the reliability of polls therein; the continuing dysfunction in Saanich Municipal politics; predictions for the Federal election; and more!

If you want to skip John and Paul's caffeine-fuelled nonsense, fast forward to about 15 minutes to get to the really good stuff.

Bernard and Paul were the only two with a big miss on the big news of the night, Saanich Mayor and Victoria Mayor (Paul got both wrong).

At the 10:20 mark, the veil is lifted on Lisa Helps' campaign machine, as we begin our interview with Sonia Théroux, her campaign manager. Sonia gives us unique insider insights into the mechanics of the campaign, the so-called "Purple" coalition, the galvanizing effect of Lisa's personality, and the peculiar campaign dynamics which ultimately led to a 89 vote victory on election night.

We veer off into a thousand directions, talking about sorry state of political discourse, voter suppression, pantyhose and photographs with chickens.

This was one of the most interesting interviews we have had to date. We hope you love it too!

John and Paul sat down with Victoria Council hopeful Justin Stephenson, who, in John, Paul and Mic tradition, left a changed man. Joining us was the always brilliant, usually controversial, and occasionally funny Michael Geoghegan, Government relations consultant and television commentator and pundit.

What's it like running a campaign in this day and age? What's the role of a Councilor - a bureaucrat or a leader? What's the pulse of the region? Where's the coffee?

With Paul's threat to "eat his hat" if his very off-side predictions were wrong came forth a mythical "chocolate hat", which suddenly everyone wanted to eat. As such, Justin changed the losing prize to a bowl of oatmeal instead.

Enjoy the show, and tune in next week for our last look at the numbers before the election on November 15th.

What do you want to see happen on the show after all this municipal election business is over? Let us know @JohnPaulandMic.
